The good,the bad and the ugly of the last week – 17 July 2014

Friday! Weekend! So ends another week at the Lazygamer office. It’s tough being an intern. Swimming with sharks, dodging laser beams, diving through flaming hoops, all while keeping coffee cups filled to the brim? Dang, I’m totally submitting an entry to that TV series – I shouldn’t be alive!

Worst Story

It’s always sad to hear of game development companies going through turmoil, and it looks like Crytek are the latest victims as the employees are not only struggling, but the Homefront Director also resigned this week. Also, how the hell do you accidentally upload something to the Internet?

ION Header of the Week

Choosing an ION can always be a tricky affair, but reading the comments on the daily round up with Alexa Varga as the header was quite entertaining, leading her to be the victor this week.

Most Comments

Gamers take their tech seriously? WHO KNEW! Darryn spurred lots of discussion with his review of the Samsung Galaxy S5. It has everything but a coffee maker? I need more from my phone dammit!

Least Comments

Oh man, it’s getting just a little too comfortable in the basement down here with the articles that receive the least comments. Hey? Can anybody hear me? I thought you were all joking when you said this was punishment for articles that nobody could be bothered to comment on! Fine, I’ll take my local coverage elsewhere!

Batman of the Week

After eons and infinite stretches of time, somebody finally beat up kicked Geoff off the Batman throne. I give to you, your new ruling Batman, ZOE HAWKINS! *wild rounds of applause from all corners of the globe*

Cabbage of the Week

Oh yes, my favourite award! Its got my face written all over it! I graciously accept this award on behalf of myself, and all other Portuguese people… except Sandy, that Porra a-hole keeps beating me in Batman!

Header of the Week

At least I get something right? This header was just pure genius, and hey it was slapped onto one of my articles! It wasn’t me though, it was all Geoff and his Asian shenanigans who put this beaut together.
